Paula Patton Says Life After Her Divorce Has Been 'Freeing'

Paula Patton steps out in three different looks while promoting her new movie Warcraft on Thursday (June 9) in New York City.

The 40-year-old actress opened up to Essence this week about life after her divorce from Robin Thicke and what life as a single mom has been like.

“It’s been fun and interesting and I’ve learned a lot about myself,” Paula said. “I have no idea what I’m doing, but it’s exciting, it’s so fun, I’m having a blast.”

“It’s really nice, honestly, getting used to being alone,” she added about the single life. “It’s freeing, it’s scary at the beginning. It’s really scary. But it’s something I’m coming to embrace and knowing that that’s really what it is now: learning to love yourself, enjoying your time with your friends, your family and then it will sort itself out.”
